I didn't know that either, cause I only ever got the War Goal when I declared war, and I play with a Shattered World mod, so rarely get to fight actual kingdoms, and when I do fight Kingdoms, I just wipe them out and conquer everything to 100% anyways in most cases unless sick and tired of going to war after war for land and doing 8 wars at once to absorb 8 mini nations into me. Honestly, it Sucks it doesn't work like EU4, where you can forcefully take any land you occupy with each piece of land costing a warscore %. It's annoying as fuck when you fight someone that had only tiny bits of different dutches and even tho it's kingdom size with 10 pieces of land, it's really only 2 pieces from 5 dutchies and not even classed as a full kingdom. There is also a drawback of that you can only do a Kingdom Conquest once in your ruler's lifetime. So if he's long lived, you get fucked over massing land easily.

@@nux2k If you want to raise a knight, a guardian with genius-related traits, high military skill and special combat-related characteristics will teach their skills to the child and the child then has a much higher chance of developing their own characteristics of their type. Btw, this is a great life hack to utilise women. If you're playing in a patriarchal culture, where women can't be commanders, marshalls or knights, if you have a genius woman who has martial points through the roof and characteristics like "military engineer", "master strategist", "battling in hills(?)" etc. and she'd be a perfect commander or marshall but you can't employ her as that due to the gendered culture (like Catholic Europe etc.), have her be a guardian of children who are particularly gifted in the military area, or whom you want to raise into commanders and warlords, and watch these kids' stat points shoot up into the high teens, 20s and even 30s as they grow up. Unfortunately, according to my personal experience, at least, your marshall's wife's military skill and characteristics don't tend to rub off onto him, just like it's the case with you (the king) and your wife.

It's also one of the thing that you can constantly do in your intrigue panel rather than just swaying as befriend is much powerful. When you have enough friends and done unlocking all the important perks, you can go for the friendly counsel and it boosts up your skills base on the number of friends you have made.

I think diplomacy tree is op skill tree. Befriend schemes does prevent vassals from creating faction. It also can be used as a recruiting knights and skillful individuals. Also improves opinion of troublesome vassals because it gives 60 positive opinion. Below the befriend perk, there's stress reduce perk based on the number of your friends and also perk that gives skill points based also on the number of your friends. I get zero stress in every contradicting decision i make. Befriending appropriate people can become agents in hostile schemes and also helps in marriages. It also can get you an alliances. Befriend is way better than abduction. I choose diplomacy skills over intrigue. August skill tree is op as well. Getting high in prestige and also bonus on higher the fame.

You can get rid of poor(or problematic) Vassal by forcing him to be knight aswell... Its random, but if they have poor provess, soon or later someone get rid of them for you. You can separate them from army and let them attack stack of enemy troops themself(Leeeeroy...) to speed it up. Its not automatic kill or wound, most of times they get defeated and run so it takes couple of tries. But poor vassals are cancer of your kingdom, specially if they get influential and demands seat in council. Get rid of them and try breed your vassals to be capable in at least something. That should be number 9, choose your Vassals wisely and dont let them grow too strong. Sometimes it takes some creativity to take land from them, but more land they control, harder it is to keep them happy and loyal.

The best lifestyle is stewardship. Starting with Wealth Focus (+10% gold) then, on the Avaricious tree, Golden Obligations. This alone, 1 trait, and you already have the conditions to pay for your mercenaries on blackmail gold alone. After this, take Heregeld (Vassal Tax +10%), War Profiteer (at war income +10%), Detailed Ledgers (Republican Tax +10% and Opinion +20) and finally, on the Architect tree, Tax Man (Collect Taxes Effectiveness +25%). These 5 traits should be taken regardless of your characters education bonus, i would say. After those 5, if you have Stewardship education bonus, the Administrator tree is the best follow-up. On a whole, you get an incredible amount of Vassal opinion, even more Vassal tax, less Tyranny and even less chances of your Vassals joining something against you. I honestly don't see how any of the other trees can compete with this.

Even if you have to retreat after that, you may capture a important character or sell some for money. Also you can slow down the increase in warscore for your enemie. 3) Sometimes it is advantage to give a weaker commander the lead. For exmple if he has the siege skill and you have send 400 levies to take a castle 4) Even if you get smashed - do not give up! You can always train the next generation to destroy your enemie from the inside.

Nice video with some good tips. Don't agree on the levies tho, just had a game starting as count and had WC pre anno 1200 with almost exclusively levies and some light cavs, army quality doesn't really matter that much when you always outnumber the enemy 10-50:1. You can basically be in wars from start to finish because they are so dirt cheap and stupidly overpower levies reinforcement rate

If you own an empire or multiple kingdoms then your levy army easily costs 40 gold+ if fully recruited. For smaller duchies and kings I agree with you but especially feudal kings armies are expensive as hell. I had 20 gold income just from my main holding alone as a triple king and when I got into an 1:1 size war my army had cost me 23 gold per ticks. As a Duke I never had that problem.

#1 : might work for smaller kingdoms but not bigger ones. winning fights gives only small amounts of points and you need to occupy the majority of the claim to get to 100%. which is tough for bigger kingdoms.. so grabbing the extra counties is often not possible since you'll lose points for not holding ALL claimed counties. #7 : diplomacy is one of the stronger lifestyles IMO. It grants you a lot of possibilities to stabilize your kingdom, grants extra stats for your children and reduces initial costs for title creations, which is expensive in the beginning. Often enough I start with a diplomacy character rather than military to conquer counties and it works quite well.

This is my first time playing a CK game. I’ve always heard how complex and challenging they can be. That said, in my opinion, once I leaned my way around most of the menus and the various concepts and mechanics, it’s actually a bit too easy. Learn a few war tricks, boom that’s handled. War becomes a trivial matter rather quickly, unless you get unlucky and get attacked by a vastly more powerful nation. Keeping your vassals happy is more of an exercise in tedious micromanagement, than a challenge. Succession is also a trivial matter to deal with once you understand it. I still love the game, and I get that it’s perhaps more about the stories you create, but as far as gameplay challenge I would honestly say that Civ VI is more challenging, as an example. Very different games I know, but I have a tougher time planning and surviving in that game, than CK3.
@Outwardpd3 жыл бұрын
It is a game with the opportunity for extreme complexity but it feels they neuter it so that the average person can enjoy it without a 4 year education in the game specifically. Like arranging marriages to assemble powerful claims/inheritance is a system that exists but really isn't worth it when war is so easy instead. Alliances are way too easy to maintain and you practically have to invade a person's own kingdom to piss them off (and sometimes that still isn't enough). Murder plots are way too infrequent, actual diplomacy is practically non-existant, trading is literally non-existant, etc. It is super fun because it offers a more realistic but way easier challenge than civ6, civ6 is by far and away more difficult and complex it is just wildly unrealistic for a lot of reasons. I've been playing civ games for almost 15 years now and I still find some challenge in the games. CK3 I've been playing about a month and honestly I'm not sure how you could lose once you actually know how the mechanics work.

One aspect of the game that is daunting is the amount of choices and the long term effects. I'd wouldn't want to just go and conquer the world, it'll probably fail or depends on luck or cheese. I'll want a plan that balances short term needs (minimally) with long term goals: having a powerful dynasty and getting the fun upgrades take take centuries. getting high skill descendants with nice traits having a fun culture and advance it prepare to reform my own custom religion and convert allies if possible also witchcraft (many feasts help chance to encounter?) preferably small but highly developed lands As the religion reform is a lifetime task, should I even focus on that for the first character or prepare an heir to do so? Lifestyle can be adjusted for getting high skilled kids, but you could also just marry well and have many kids. This can be done with various different ways. Maybe make a video on examples of long term strategy? You can mention various lifestyle combinations. A dynasty with a phase for conquest, for development, for the reform, expanding the dynasty and getting good traits, culture focus etc. Both how to set up the next heir and how to make the best of you have if not possible.

Something I figured out that I never see anyone mention. The AI will have an army run from yours if it has a good chance of losing. Putting in your worse possible commander might tip the scales enough the AI will stick around for a battle. But don’t forget to switch the commander back to your best right before the battle. AI won’t have tome to run and will have to stand and fight.
